Hey Guys,

I looked and looked and couldn't really find anything definitive on this so I'm gonna go ahead and ask you guys and see what you think.

I own a 2.3L 2006 Sedan. I recently bought some NGK G-Power Platinum tipped spark plugs, I didn't do my research before and bought them quickly, now I'm worried I bought something useless.


So my questions are,

1) Should I return these and get iridiums or just leave them for ~ 20 000 km, then upgrade?

2) I've read lots of conflicting theories on gapping platinum and iridium plugs, NGK says not to, then if you "must" not to use a coin style gapper (I don't have a spark plug gapper either way so I'll get the proper one). So should I gap the G-Power plugs, and if I should return them, should I gap the iridiums?

3) Thanks for reading my thread and hopefully it isn't the 100th time you've had this question
